Not sufficient fishing. Not sufficient swimming. Not sufficient BBQing. I miss when Summertime was all about staying up late, watching trash TV and operating round with your mates. This summer time has been continuous…or at the least it appears. I lastly pressured myself to decelerate the final week or so.
INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND
Had just a few mates come up for the 4th of July vacation weekend, however did not have a lot time to hang around as I needed to prep my ring for takedown and set-up on the native Group Competition. My buddy runs the occasion and requested if I might placed on some wrestling for them. It was a worrying time – the EXACT OPPOSITE of how I like my Independence Day. I actually get into 2 holidays – that is Christmas & the times round July 4th…even my bday is not as standard with me as these days (or instances of 12 months).
Anyway, the occasion was extra worrying than I might’ve favored. It was a wonderful summer time day, not too sizzling, however the wrestlers appeared to not take the occasion as severe as I assumed they need to. Now I get it, it is a small city 4th of July neighborhood days type occasion. Just a few hundred folks, however we have been the leisure. All eyes have been on us and this was alternative to showcase what we do in entrance of people that do not usually have this expertise.
The spotlight was once I was ARRESTED BY THE COPS! I’ve all the time been a fan of old-school wrestling stunts – a wrestler ripping up a followers signal, a wild drunk fan leaping within the ring and the dangerous man wrestlers getting escorted out of the constructing in handcuffs. Initially I figured I would be the great man (the babyface) since I truly spent just a few good years of my childhood only a mile from the fairgrounds. Actually, I gained Most Severe Expression once I was a child. That is proper – I used to be a champion from the beginning 🙂 Should you get an opportunity try my professional wrestling twitter (however please be applicable) to see the image of me getting lifted within the air and handcuffed on the occasion. My buddy has some video footage and a drone shot of it. Once I get a while I am going to put it collectively so that you can see.
I’M A TV STAR AGAIN 😉
I had lots to do the subsequent day as I made the 8 hour drive (after all, it took longer than that) to Upstate New York to do some “further work” at an enormous league wrestling promotion. I did not get to wrestle, which was a bit shocking to be sincere. Hopefully subsequent time – and hopefully prior to later. I am operating out of miles on these boots.
I did spend about 10 hours wandering round backstage, getting skilled images taken, consuming some high quality catering and having many awkward interactions. I am undecided if it was the annoyance of strangers coming as much as you or the dearth of social expertise or perhaps it is simply the “enterprise” but it surely made me giggle (and typically unhappy) that a few of these guys went out of their option to flip away when somebody went to say hiya or acknowledge them in passing.
Spent most the night time out and in of the catering room or filling seats. I gotta inform ya, if this wrestling factor would not work out then I am gonna go professional at being a fan. Should you get an opportunity to see any of the episodes I used to be seat-filling on then you definitely’ll see me HOOTIN-AND-HOLLERING!
Was a cool expertise even bought to take a seat subsequent to a WRESTLING LEGEND that I watched as a child whereas watching the TV present stay backstage. The 16+ hour drive there and again was brutal. 2 Nights in a resort. No ring time. It burnt me out. I feel subsequent I wanna do film or tv present work. Have you learnt methods to go about that?
CURRENTLY
Since then it has been every week plus of recovering and being lazy aside from one different professional wrestling reserving towards a pair mates. It was simple. It was enjoyable. It was time.
I am simply getting again round to getting again into work mode – even did a shoot in Las Vegas with a pair new guys. I feel you may like these guys.
WHAT’S NEXT
The remainder of the summer time is gonna embody some fishing, some extra shoots and a few wrestling. We’ll have the ring again up in my yard subsequent week for extra observe time with mates. I have been getting a TON of recent gear for professional and hero stuff, so this fall I plan to do extra with that.
As nicely, I will be doing a little small occasions round New England earlier than coming again to the Tampa space this Fall the place I plan to do weekly occasions in October below a Halloween theme. Any concepts to make this higher?

Now we have completed the First Spherical within the Chase For The Championship Sequence. 8 Elite Rivals have been decreased to the Last 4. Some sizzling debuts in Spherical 1, however I can promise you the motion and depth heats up in Spherical 2. Chase Sinn is a World-Class professional wrestler who simply has essentially the most wrestling data of the remaining contenders. He’ll tackle Drew Harper in Spherical 2. Drew has are available in burning sizzling on the underground wrestling scene and has picked up quite a lot of data. Nonetheless, he’ll not have the ability to match Chase within the talent division so he’ll should depend on energy, energy and a few youthful exuberance to squeak into the Finals for the W4H Championship.

Hell, I’ve additionally been holding again towards these others. Some actual competitors might wake me up and reveal what has been hidden inside me for too lengthy – ANOTHER LEVEL! Gabe can deliver all his soiled methods and his superb apparel – but it surely’s gonna take greater than trying fairly and learning just a few episodes of GLOW to beat me.
Spherical 2 will undergo the Autumn and we may have a W4H Champion topped by Christmas with the custom-made one-of-a-kind Championship Belt!
